Actually it will only kill those heavily invested in foreign suppliers.
This becomes the new business model (for me at least). There are many products I sell which are made by some companies overseas, and by other companies here in the US. I buy the foreign products to give me a lower starting entry level price and the US products because more and more I see some buyers making it a point to buy American. Even to the extent that I get enails asking me specifically where something was made. (We all know not everyone reads the item specifics).
So, with the new tariffs raising the international manufacturer’s prices that “lead in” gap disappears. In which case there is no longer any point in buying them and in time my products will be dominated by U S manufactures whose prices will most likely remain stable.
And, theoretically at least, that should put the squeeze on the Chinese direct sellers on eBay which may improve the lot of those currently being undercut by those same.
And wasn’t that his whole idea?
Adapt or die.
